There needs to be a new rule implemented into the NBA to where if a player is suspended for a dirty and flagrant foul then the team with the player that was fouled should have the opportunity to choose if the player that committed the foul should sit out the next game(s) that the other team plays or the next game against the team that was fouled.

For example:
Considering last night’s game, since Malone has now been suspended for one game because of a dirty play against the mavericks, the maverick’s management should be able to decide whether Malone should be suspended from the Lakers very next game of the season or from the Lakers next game against Dallas. This way there is more justice to a suspension than the possibility of a player making a dirty play and getting barely punished by being suspended from a worthless game against some other team.
